Connecting to ServiceNow

Explorer ,
Jun 27, 2024 Jun 27, 2024

Company is moving to ServiceNow, and I'm experimenting with publishing from RH to ServiceNow. I have set up a Developer Instance of ServiceNow to this end. Not starting very well ....

 

ServiceNow Connection Failure - Could not connect to the site. Site is down or check your credentials.

 

I have the correct URL to the developer instance.

I'm signing in with an Admin Account on the instance and using the correct password.

 

Has anyone managed this successfully and, if so, can you help me with this stumbling block out of the gate?

 

Robohelp is latest version: 2022.4.179

TIA 

Geo

FYI - This turned out to be an internal network issue (never did get a good troubleshooting session with Adobe). Turned out it was our Zscaler client connector (cloud web proxy). Even though I could access the ServiceNow instance directly on the web, and ping it for liveness, for some reason Zscaler was blocking the robohelp connection for publishing. Just adding this post as a reference for any future user who may have this issue.

Had to google that one - so few have ever mentioned it on the forums. Have you followed all the steps listed in this link? - https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/robohelp/using/publish-servicenow.html 
If so, and you're still not getting anywhere with it, I suggest you ping the RH folks - see https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/enterprise-support.other.html#robohelp for your Adobe Support options. I'd recommend using the tcssup@adobe.com e-mail address as it reaches a team dedicated to Technical Communication Suite products including RoboHelp.

Thank you Jeff. Email sent as suggested to the tech comm suite address.

 

Noted that there was not much feedback about RoboHelp/ServiceNow integration on either forum site (Adobe or SNow). Will try Reddit next 🙂

I have no real world experience of ServiceNow but see if this helps. https://www.grainge.org/RoboHelp_Tour/rh2022/outputs/outputs_knowledge_base.htm
